J o h a n n e s S t r o u x, Die neuen Ulpianfragmente und ihre Bedeutung für die Interpolationenforschung (Sonderabdruck aus Miscellanea Acadexnica Rerolinensia, Akademie Verlag Rerlin 1950).
In this essay the author is concerned with Ryl. 474 which as was established by Z u l u e t a derives from Ulpian 26 ad ed. He examines how the compilers proceeded with the introductory ter-minological treatise in D 12,1,1 pr. and shows that they kept the wording making however some omissions. The formerly conjec-tured interpolations are disproved by this papyrus. There is not to be found in any place an insertion, an emblema of Tribonian. It would be better to avoid the word „interpolation" for this kind of abbrevations. There is obviously at the bottom of it not an in-tention to interfere but only that to cancell superfluous words. The same method was followed by the compilers in D 50, 16, 233 § 2, in the introduction of the Gaius commentary to the X I I tables. Here a smaller passage was shortened.
F r i t z S c h u l z , Die Ulpianfragmente des Papyrus Rylands 474 (Sav. Z. 68, 1951 p, 1 ff).
The text cannot have been written by Ulpian and belongs to those explanationes titulorum in Ulpians commentary of the edict which had long been recognized as not genuine. Our explanation cannot be ascribed to the Justinian compilers, it is to be assigned to a post-classical edition of Ulpian's commentary of the edict which did not render Ulpian's text in its purity.
